Awesome Application Installer

[TBlaar]

I just found out about this site:

www.ninite.com

It builds an installer, which then downloads and installs all the apps you use on your PC. Perfect for after a fresh Windows reinstall.

It's AWESOME!!!!!

This doesnt allow for custom silent installs though , so no offense but it's pretty useless to me.

Yep pretty awesome.

Makes re-installing an OS so much easier.

I don't quite follow why you'd need a silent install though? It doesn't require any user interaction even without the silent switch? All the silent does is it suppresses error messages, which I kinda like to see.

Um you didn't quite read my post correctly Havoc, I'm referring to installing custom programs without the use of their current list of programs supported by their installer. They state that it makes running .bat files better, but there you have to sit and write up your commands for the batch file, so in essence this program doesn't quite help my needs. I'm tired of writing batch files to install my programs, I want software that will allow me to select the programs I want to install eg: Pastel, put in my license keys etc... and let it do it's thing. It's very time consuming as it is having to install things individually and all that.

This will surely help to get your PC from fresh Windows install to the part where you can do the Pastel yourself?

I rebuilt my PC a while back, next time I am definitely using this and going for a smoke or 2, and it should be done when I get back.

Dude that was only 1 example, per machine I have to install about 15 pieces of software so it's about a 2-3hour process and it's really time consuming.

Dude use nlite, you can build a windows install automated everything (Just setting it up first time takes FOREVER) but when it works it works.

Cant believe u dont use nlite

I'll look into this, I have a reinstall on the cards in the next couple of months.

Boozer, you have to add your Batch files to this if you want it to work, it doesn't create it's own behind the scenes.
